Major Auctions!Below you will find the following:
Our auction host has upgraded how our auctions look (but NOT our galleries or any other portion of our site)As you likely know, while all we do is done from our website, https://www.emovieposter.com our auctions are hosted by a third party, https://www.auctionanything.com/This is because when we left eBay in 2008, the only thing we liked about having them host our auctions was that THEY ran the auctions, so we could not see what our bidders are bidding (unlike EVERY other major auction, where they CAN see what the bidders bid, which leads to those mysterious "hidden" bidders who magically bid to one bid under your supposed "secret" maximum. But because eBay ran the auctions and not us, we could NOT see what bidders secret maximums were, and that made our auctions the only 100% honest online auctions. So when we left eBay, we researched and found a wonderful third part software company that could host our auctions, and they have done so for the past 18 years (and 1,680,000+ auctions)! NOW, 18 YEARS LATER, THEY UPGRADED THEIR SOFTWARE, WHICH GIVES OUR AUCTIONS A "DIFFERENT" LOOK (but it is purely cosmetic, and the real changes are behind the scenes, which will cause the auctions to load faster). Why was done? A few years ago, AuctionAnything.com added a mobile version of their auctions, for the ever-growing number of people who access the auctions through their cel phones. Over that time they had to maintain two completely separate versions of the same site, which was time-consuming and costly. Now Auction Anything has consolidated the two versions into one, which means that our auctions have a really new look. This is now in place, and, if you have not done so already, please go to our current auctions (see them all at https://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/all.html) and click on any auction, and you will quickly see the differences. At first, the auctions seem very different. But honestly, the changes are purely cosmetic. Some things are in slightly different places, and some are different colors, but pretty much everything that was there is still there! And behind the scenes, the auctions will load far faster than before, which is a big plus. There is one significant change, and that is that the "bid box" is now near the top of the page, right below the time left area (which is more prominent and green). This is very good for people who bid on lots of items, because it means they won't have to scroll down past the movie description and condition description to get to the bid box, saving them a lot of time. But because bidders will have only the condition grade above the bid box and NOT the condition description, some may not look closely at the condition BEFORE placing their bid, and then regret their bid, and if this happens a lot, we may have to move the bid box back to the bottom of the page. Time will tell!We also created a new logo for our home page (see below for a screenshot of how it displays on our Home Page), and will make other changes to our site over the coming weeks. ALL OF THIS IS OUR EFFORT TO IMPROVE THE SITE, MAKE OUR AUCTIONS LOAD FASTER, AND STAY THE #1 ONLINE AUCTION SITE THERE IS! IMPORTANT! This changeover to the new auction software will surely have some "hiccups" and if you find any problem with the new "look" of the auctions, let us know, so we can get it fixed. And please give yourself a chance to get used to them, because we feel sure you will soon get used to them, and like the quicker loading and the more conveniently placed bid box!
OUR GREAT DECEMBER MAJOR AUCTION ENDED WITH SENSATIONAL RESULTS (SEE ALL RESULTS BELOW)!
View EVERY result (not just the top ones as other auctions deceptively do) of the 887 GREAT items in our DECEMBER MAJOR AUCTION at this link:
It is NOW time to consign to our April Major Auction which runs from March 22nd to April 12th!
 
 
 Given our wonderful results (especially compared to VERY lackluster results at our competitors), AND given that we charge SO much lower commissions than EVERY other major auction, WHY would you ever consider consigning quality items anywhere BUT eMoviePoster.com? Our 26th Annual Halloween Auction had SENSATIONAL results, led by The Mummy Title Card selling for $106,500! See EVERY result (not just the highest ones, as so many auctions deceptively do)!

What distinguishes OUR major auctions from ALL other major auctions? ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTIONS!
Some people have told us that they find it hard to
remember which movie poster auction is which, because there are so many of
them! So we created this handy
checklist to help tell eMoviePoster.com apart from all the rest!
HAS lifetime guarantees on every item - IS eMoviePoster.com UPDATED 8/7/2025! EVEN MORE ABSOLUTE PROOF YOU GET FAR MORE CONSIGNING TO US THAN TO ANY OTHER MAJOR AUCTION! Our consignors do SO much better with us it is positively INSANE!
You might THINK that "consigning to auctions" is pretty much the same, and that how much money you receive is pretty much "the luck of the draw". But nothing could be further from the truth! We at eMoviePoster.com charge SO incredibly less than EVERY other auction (at all price levels) that the difference in what WE pay our consignors and what other auctions pay to their consignors can be downright mind-blowing! Above are FOUR wonderful examples of just how great the difference can be, using two actual pairs of posters WE sold, and another auction sold, just days apart. And this is not solely true with super expensive items! We take FAR lower commissions at EVERY selling price across the board! Please go to https://www.emovieposter.com/learnmore/?page=consign for a complete and transparent explanation of exactly how consigning to us works! And we CLEARLY state exactly what we charge at every price level, something you can't find at any other major auction site. So if YOU have posters or movie paper of any kind to auction, realize that there is an excellent chance you will receive FAR more for those posters, EVEN IF THEY SELL FOR AROUND THE SAME PRICE AT EITHER AUCTION! When you add in that eMoviePoster.com is the most trusted auction there is (with 35 years and $123 million in REAL sales) is there ANY doubt which auction you should consign your most valued posters to? YOU MUST READ THIS BEFORE CONSIGNING!We don't accept ANY sub-$50 consignment items at all (even for bulk lots), and lesser condition items must be solidly $100+ and linens must be solidly $100+ in nice condition, $200 in lesser condition)! TWENTY EIGHT months ago, on May 1st, 2023 we first announced the above changes and January 1, 2025 we raised the minimum values again, and on May 1st, 2025 we raised them to the current levels. Almost ALL consignors have now realized this, and are either solely sending items that meet the above minimums (or not sending any items), and that saves us massive time sorting through low value items, time we get to spend on the $50+ items we receive, which we are now getting to auction even faster than ever! But a very few consignors continue to send low value items, and we are now simply returning those at the consignor's expense, so PLEASE, if you are one of the very few doing this, please stop doing so right away! IF YOU ARE WONDERING HOW WE STILL HAVE ANY "BULK LOT" AUCTIONS, THOSE ARE ALL ITEMS RECEIVED BEFORE 5/1/2023! WHEN THOSE ITEMS ARE GONE, THERE WILL BE NO MORE BULK LOTS AT ALL! This added change has resulted in a much "leaner" eMoviePoster.com, one that does not auction hardly any lesser condition items, and I guarantee you all that bidders have greatly welcomed this change! AND IF THIS MEANS THAT ANY OF YOU NO LONGER WANT TO CONSIGN, I CAN ACCEPT THAT. TWENTY EIGHT MONTHS AGO I ALSO MADE A COMMITMENT TO ALL OF YOU! It is now near the end of August 2025. I will continue running this business (just as I have for the past 35 years) through the end of 2026, at the very least, SIXTEEN FULL MONTHS FROM NOW! But I DO reserve the right to raise our minimum for consignments even more during that time (likely to $100 in nice condition). After 12/31/26, I make no promises at this time. I MAY WELL continue longer (especially as I am SO liking the "new" eMoviePoster.com), or I MAY somewhat withdraw from the business so the employees run it more and more, or I MAY look for a buyer for it (possibly some of the employees themselves), or I MAY close it down! SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR OUR CONSIGNORS? If YOU are someone with a house (or a warehouse) full of items, realize that for the next 16 months guaranteed you have a effortless way to sell all your items, both with no work on your part, and you get to deal with the most honest and most trusted auction there is! AFTER 2026 comes to an end, do those of you with a house (or a warehouse) full of items have a "Plan B" if we are no longer auctioning (which may or may not happen)? You surely DON'T want to sell your items one at a time, and you surely know most dealers would offer you pennies on the the dollar, and you surely know that almost every other auction would charge you huge fees and only want your best stuff, so SHOULDN'T YOU CONSIDER THE MERITS OF CONSIGNING TO US OVER THE NEXT SIXTEEN MONTHS? And PLEASE don't tell me that your plan is to let your heirs worry about how to deal with your stuff after you are gone. That often works out terribly, and sometimes whole collections are literally trashed. Unless you positively hate your heirs, do not choose this option! Over and over the past few years, very long time collectors with huge collections have told me that "we need to have a talk one of these days" because they need to make a plan on how they will deal with their collection. That time has now come, and all of you have 16 months left in which figure out what to do, and you want to start thinking about this sooner than later! Now I have no crystal ball! Maybe a new auction like ours will emerge down the line that offers a reasonable alternative to auctioning through us. I hope that occurs. But for right now, I feel that what I say above makes a massive amount of sense for those of you who are in an age bracket (or a point in your life or collecting) where you want and need to do SOMETHING with your collection sooner than later! If YOU are someone like the collectors or dealers I describe above with a house (or a warehouse) full of items that you would love to no longer have (while getting them into the hands of people who will treasure, and with doing little work on your own), please feel free to email or phone me so we can discuss "your next step"! WE WANT TO BUILD AN EMOVIEPOSTER.COM THAT CAN KEEP BEING THESE BEST AUCTION HOUSE THERE IS FOR YEARS TO COME, AND IT IS ONLY THROUGH STRICTLY ENFORCING THE ABOVE RULES ABOUT SENDING NO MORE SUB-$50 ITEMS AT ALL (AND NO MORE LESSER CONDITION SUB-$100 ITEMS AND NO SUB-$100 NICE CONDITION LINEN ITEMS) THAT WE CAN DO SO. IT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF EVERY COLLECTOR AND CONSIGNOR FOR THAT TO HAPPEN! THANKS FOR BEING UNDERSTANDING OF THE NEED FOR STRICTLY ENFORCING THESE SIMPLE RULES We charge the lowest consignor commissions at EVERY price level and have a chart that proves it! In all our ads we state "We charge the lowest consignor commissions at EVERY price level". Here's a chart that proves it beyond a doubt!
Why did we create the above chart? Because three different potential consignors told us that they had decided to auction their items elsewhere, because "their rates were so much lower than eMoviePoster.com's". We asked them how they arrived at that, and they said that they were told that the percentage they were charged at the other auction was less than the percentage that they were charged at our auction. But sadly, that is not at all true. When you factor in the Buyers Premiums that are hidden from the seller, the sellers at those other auctions pay more (and often FAR more than they do in our eMoviePoster.com auctions as this chart conclusively proves)!
Just to make it crystal clear: Why eMoviePoster.com is FAR AND AWAY the world's #1 vintage poster auction houseeMoviePoster.com is FAR AND AWAY the world's #1 vintage poster auction house, and the reason for that is simple! We give the absolute best customer service there is and we treat every buyer (and consignor) EXACTLY the way we want to be treated when we are a buyer or consignor. And we say exactly what we will do (with no fine print) and then we do exactly what we said we would. Every week we get LOTS of emails from satisfied buyers and consignors. Here are just a few of them! Whether you are a buyer or consignor, isn't it time YOU discover "the eMoviePoster.com difference"?

What's so SPECIAL about eMoviePoster.com that makes us the ONLY place you should consign to?Below are testimonials from some of our longest term consignors (and one who gave us two VERY special "single consignor" auctions!) about WHY they love consigning to us! Because we know full well deciding WHERE to consign can be VERY confusing, we asked our longest term consignors (and one very special recent one!) to write our their experiences consigning to us, to help those "on the fence" about WHERE to consign their items! If any of you consignors reading this would like to share their experiences, please email us with your comments!
Click on the above images to see much larger "more readable" versions! And If YOU have $50+ items you would like to consign (lesser condition items must be $100+, and linen must be $100+ in nice condition, $200+ in lesser condition), why not head over to https://www.emovieposter.com/learnmore/?page=consign and read our "no fine print" terms, and learn how you can join the 3,431+ others who have consigned $123 million of items to us!
